This is not Flattering!

I'm having one of those days where I am feeling kind of overwhelmed or maybe it's underwhelmed.

A blogging friend of mine sent me here latest successes with her online store and her blog. It got me feeling very happy for her but a bit down about my own lack of impressive progress. This online stuff is far from easy sledding. The amount of things you need to learn is staggering and it keeps changing by the day. One webinar tells you to do this and another says that's one of the biggest mistakes you can make. Just shoot me! Okay, whining is over.  It got me thinking of this old parable I'd like to share with you with the hopes it will make you smile and maybe brighten your day.

A mouse and an elephant are walking through the desert throwing up a huge amount of dust. The mouse turns and looks back and says to the elephant, "See what We Are doing?" There is more than one moral to this story but I'm choosing to hitch my wagon to positive momentum. I hope you have enjoyed my brief attempt at cartooning!

    I’m loving these pieces. The colors are illuminating. And their the chunky necklaces that I like. I enjoyed reading your story. I found that you pretty much have to do what you feel in your heart when it comes to your business. Use the information from others as a guide only and a way to test some of the new techniques in Marketing that can only come from you. Process of elimination does it for me when I’m trying some of these new techniques. Use webinars to educate yourself about new business practices, strategies, and innovations. Be innovative. It will give you a competitive advantage. Did you make these pieces?
